After 18-months of global touring in support of their acclaimed third album The Great Depression, AS IT IS have announced they will be returning to Australia in February 2020 for a run of four shows.
With their third album The Great Depression, As it Is are comprehensively proving themselves to use music to better understand who we are and feel powerfully less alone. “This record started off life as an exploration of the question ‘Do we as a society have a fetish for mental illness?’” offers front man Patty Walters; “Do we romanticise or glorify a sickness? It was important for me to do some soul-searching around that question. Are we part of a scene that actually does more damage than good in terms of the way we talk about these issues?”
As It Is – completed by front man Patty Walters, guitarist Ron Ish, drummer Patrick Foley and bassist Ali Testo – take the listener on a journey which delves into every aspect of arguably the most prevalent social ill of our time across their third studio album, The Great Depression.
